Description

Querträger crossbeam
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Querträger für ein Kraftfahrzeug gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a cross member for a motor vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1.
Es ist ein Ziel der Kraftfahrzeughersteller, das Gewicht der Kraftfahrzeuge zu verringern. Aus diesem Grund wird in der DE 100 46 120 A1 ein Bauteil in Hybridbauweise für ein Kraftfahrzeug, insbesondere ein Querträger für den Cockpitbereich beschrieben, das als Leichtbauteil ausgebildet ist mit einem schalenförmigen Grundkörper und mit aus angespritztem Kunststoff bestehenden Verstärkungsrippen. Dabei wird zusammen mit den Verstärkungsrippen wenigstens ein Kanal ganz oder teilweise im Innenraum des Grundkörpers eingespritzt. Der Kanal dient beispielsweise zur Führung von Luft einer Klimaanlage. Ein derartiges Bauteil lässt jedoch noch Wünsche offen.It is a goal of automotive manufacturers to reduce the weight of automobiles. For this reason, DE 100 46 120 A1 describes a hybrid construction component for a motor vehicle, in particular a cross member for the cockpit area, which is designed as a lightweight component with a shell-shaped base body and with reinforcing ribs made of molded plastic. At least one channel is injected completely or partially in the interior of the base body together with the reinforcing ribs. The channel is used, for example, to guide air from an air conditioning system. However, such a component still leaves something to be desired.
Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen verbesserten Querträger bereitzustellen. Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch einen Querträger für ein Kraftfahrzeug mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Based on this prior art, it is an object of the invention to provide an improved cross member. This object is achieved by a cross member for a motor vehicle with the features of claim 1. Advantageous refinements are the subject of the dependent claims.
Erfindungsgemäß wird ein Querträger für ein Kraftfahrzeug, insbesondere für den Cockpitbereich, zur Verfügung gestellt, bei dem mindestens eine quer zum Querträger verlaufende Wand vorgesehen ist. Insbesondere ist eine Wand an den Enden des Querträgers (A-Säulenanbindung), im Bereich der Airbag-, Lenkungs-, Tunnelstrebenanbindung und wo sonst noch Halter benötigt werden, vorgesehen.According to the invention, a cross member for a motor vehicle, in particular for the cockpit area, is provided, in which at least one wall running transversely to the cross member is provided. In particular, a wall is provided at the ends of the crossbeam (A-pillar connection), in the area of the airbag, steering, tunnel strut connection and where else brackets are required.
Vorzugsweise ist ein Durchlass zwischen der Wand und Grundkörper vorgesehen. Durch den Durchlass kann insbesondere ein Luftkanal, der Teil einer Klimaanlage ist, verlaufen, jedoch kann auch ein Kanal für das Wischwasser der Scheinwerfer oder der Windschutzscheibe, Kühlwasser, Öl, Druckluft oder dergleichen, ggf. auch zur geschützten Verlegung von Kabeln, Benzinleitungen, Ölleitungen, Druckluftleitungen oder dergleichen vorgesehen sein. Der Luftkanal kann z.B. eingelegt oder eingespritzt werden. Das Einlegen bzw. Einspritzen des Luftkanals bietet den Vorteil, dass preiswertere Kunst- Stoffe verwendet werden können, da die Statik von den anderen Elementen, insbesondere durch den Grundkörper, die Wände und ggf. vorhandene Verstärkungen, welche insbesondere aus Metall gefertigt sind, übernommen wird.A passage is preferably provided between the wall and the base body. An air duct, which is part of an air conditioning system, can run through the passage, but a duct can also be used for the washer fluid of the headlights or the windshield, cooling water, oil, compressed air or the like, possibly also for the protected laying of cables, gasoline lines, oil lines , Compressed air lines or the like may be provided. The air duct can e.g. be inserted or injected. Inserting or injecting the air duct offers the advantage that less expensive plastics can be used, since the statics are taken over by the other elements, in particular by the base body, the walls and any reinforcements that are made, in particular, of metal ,
Vorzugsweise besteht die Wand aus einem Blech, insbesondere aus Stahl, Aluminium oder Magnesium und weist Anbindungen auf, an denen der Querträger an einer A-Säule o.a. angebracht oder an denen andere Elemente an dem Querträger angebracht werden können. Alternativ können auch andere Metalle, insbesondere hochfeste Metalle, verwendet werden. Vorzugsweise bildet die Wand einen Teil der am Querträger anzubringenden Elemente, wie bspw. die A-Säulenanbindung, die Lenkung, die Stirn- wandabstützung, den Halter für Schaltung, Elektronikbox, Handschuhkasten, Airbag, Kniebag, I-Tafel, die Tunnelstrebe, den Pedalblock, die Mittelkon- sole. Hierbei werden die Wände oder deren Funktionen direkt in die Anbau- elemente integriert oder die Wand übernimmt ganz oder teilweise die Funktionen der Anbauelemente, bspw. bildet Teile eines Airbag-Gehäuses. Dabei können die Anbauelemente und die Wände jedoch auch mehrteilig ausgebildet sein. Auf diese Weise lässt sich eine weitere Gewichtsreduzierung erreichen.The wall preferably consists of a sheet metal, in particular of steel, aluminum or magnesium, and has connections to which the cross member is attached to an A-pillar or to which other elements can be attached to the cross member. Alternatively, other metals, in particular high-strength metals, can also be used. The wall preferably forms part of the elements to be attached to the crossmember, such as the A-pillar connection, the steering, the end wall support, the holder for gearshift, electronics box, glove box, airbag, knee bag, I-panel, the tunnel strut and the pedal block , the center console. Here, the walls or their functions are integrated directly into the add-on elements, or the wall takes over all or part of the functions of the add-on elements, for example forms parts of an airbag housing. However, the add-on elements and the walls can also be made in several parts. In this way, further weight reduction can be achieved.
Vorzugsweise weist der Querträger zur Verstärkung Rippen, Rippenelemente und/oder Zugelemente und/oder Druckelemente auf, die am Grundkörper angebracht sind. Dabei ist die Verstärkung vorzugsweise ein Guss-, Sinter- oder Schmiedeteil, welches insbesondere aus Stahl, Aluminium oder Magnesium gefertigt ist. Die Wand kann beispielsweise auch direkt in die Verstärkung integriert, also Teil der Verstärkung sein. Insbesondere sind die Verstärkungselemente in einem Winkel von 45° +/- 10° zur Längsrichtung des Querträgers angeordnet, wenn der Querträger auf Biegung und Torsion belastet wird.For reinforcement, the cross member preferably has ribs, rib elements and / or tension elements and / or pressure elements which are attached to the base body. The reinforcement is preferably a cast, sintered or forged part, which is made in particular of steel, aluminum or magnesium. The wall can, for example, also be integrated directly into the reinforcement, ie it can be part of the reinforcement. In particular, the reinforcing elements are arranged at an angle of 45 ° +/- 10 ° to the longitudinal direction of the cross member when the cross member is subjected to bending and torsion.
Gemäß einer alternativen Ausführungsform für eine reine Biegebelastung weist der Querträger zur Verstärkung Rippen, Rippenelemente und/oder Zugelemente auf, die am Grundkörper angebracht sind, die in einem Winkel von 0° bzw. 90° zur Längsrichtung des Querträgers angeordnet sind.According to an alternative embodiment for a pure bending load, the cross member for reinforcement has ribs, rib elements and / or tension elements which are attached to the base body and are arranged at an angle of 0 ° or 90 ° to the longitudinal direction of the cross member.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weisen die Rippenelemente eine V-förmige Gestalt auf und sind vorzugsweise derart aneinander angebracht, dass sie mit den Enden ihrer Schenkel am Grundköper und mit ihren mittleren Bereichen an einander fixiert sind. Alternativ können jedoch auch derartige Elemente vorgesehen sein, die mehreren derartig verbunden Rippenelementen entsprechen.According to a preferred embodiment, the rib elements have a V-shaped shape and are preferably attached to one another in such a way that they are fixed to one another with the ends of their legs on the base body and with their central regions. Alternatively, however, you can also such elements may be provided which correspond to several rib elements connected in this way.

In the- In this case, the rib elements 304 can also fulfill the function of the walls at the same time.
Gemäß dem in Fig. 9 dargestellten vierten Ausführungsbeispiel sind als Ver- rippung 403 für den Querträger 401 Rippenelemente 404 vorgesehen, die denen des vorhergehenden Ausführungsbeispiels entsprechen und außerdem Drähte 404' gespannt, wobei sich zwei Drähte 404' kreuzen. Die Um- lenkung der Drähte 404' am Randbereich 405 des Grundkörpers 402 erfolgt mittels Bolzen 430. Alternativ können Zinnen, hakenförmige Elemente oder beliebige andere Befestigungs- oder Umlenkvorrichtungen vorgesehen sein. Anstelle von Drähten können auch Seile oder andere Zugmittel verwendet werden. Ferner ist die Verwendung von Druckübertragungsmitteln, bspw. von Stäben, möglich. In diesem Fall kann auf die Rippenelemente 404 verzichtet werden, um bspw. Gewicht und Kosten einzusparen.According to the fourth exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 9, rib elements 404 are provided as ribbing 403 for the cross member 401, which correspond to those of the previous exemplary embodiment and also tensioned wires 404 ', two wires 404' crossing one another. The wires 404 'are deflected at the edge area 405 of the base body 402 by means of bolts 430. Alternatively, crenellations, hook-shaped elements or any other fastening or deflecting devices can be provided. Ropes or other traction means can also be used instead of wires. The use of pressure transmission means, for example rods, is also possible. In this case, the rib elements 404 can be dispensed with in order to save weight and costs, for example.
Der Winkel, in dem die Drähte 404' bezüglich der Längsrichtung des Querträgers 401 gespannt sind, beträgt ca. 45°, insbesondere 45° +/- 10°.The angle at which the wires 404 'are stretched with respect to the longitudinal direction of the cross member 401 is approximately 45 °, in particular 45 ° +/- 10 °.
Unter den Drähten 404' sind in den zu verstärkenden Bereichen, d.h. insbe- sondere in den Bereichen, in denen Anbindung vorzusehen sind, entsprechend dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel Wände mit Anbindungen (nicht dargestellt) vorgesehen. Dabei können die Wände auch über die Drähte 404' hinausragen. Beispielsweise können die Drähte 404' auch im Bereich der Wände oder an den Wänden befestigt sein. Die Gestalt der Wände ent- spricht im wesentlichen der Gestalt der Wände 4 des ersten Ausführungsbeispiels, so dass wiederum ein Luftkanal 411 im Querträger 401 aufgenommen werden kann. Beim Luftkanal 411 kann es sich beispielsweise um ein Kunststoff-Blasteil handeln, das vor dem Zusammenbau eingelegt wird, jedoch kann es auch nachträglich eingeschoben werden.Under the wires 404 'in the areas to be reinforced, i.e. In particular in the areas in which connections are to be provided, walls with connections (not shown) are provided in accordance with the first exemplary embodiment. The walls can also protrude beyond the wires 404 '. For example, the wires 404 'can also be fastened in the region of the walls or on the walls. The shape of the walls essentially corresponds to the shape of the walls 4 of the first exemplary embodiment, so that in turn an air duct 411 can be accommodated in the cross member 401. The air duct 411 can be, for example, a plastic blow-molded part that is inserted before assembly, but it can also be inserted afterwards.
Fig. 10 zeigt ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß dem die Verrippung 503 durch Rippenelemente 504 in Art eines Deckels gebildet wird, welcher auf den Grundkörper 502 gesetzt wird und schräg zur Längsrichtung des Querträgers 501 verlaufende Streben mit verstärktem Randbereichen auf- weist, welche die Funktion der Rippen übernehmen. In diesem Fall sind am Grundkörper 502 keine Wände vorgesehen, an denen mit dem Querträger 501 zu verbindende Elemente angebracht werden können oder mit deren Hilfe der Querträger 501 fixiert werden kann, da den Wänden entsprechende Vorrichtungen, d.h. Anbindungen 524, direkt an den Rippenelementen 504 vorgesehen sind. Alternativ können den Wänden entsprechende Vorrichtungen an den Rippenelementen 504 angefügt sein. Im Prinzip ist es auch möglich zusätzliche Wände vorzusehen. Die in Fig. 10 nach oben gebogenen verstärkten Randbereiche können auch nach innen gebogen sein, was den erforderlichen Bauraum verringert.10 shows a further exemplary embodiment according to which the ribbing 503 is formed by rib elements 504 in the manner of a cover, which is placed on the base body 502 and has struts which run obliquely to the longitudinal direction of the cross member 501 and have reinforced edge regions which function as the ribs take. In this case Base body 502 no walls are provided, on which elements to be connected to the cross member 501 can be attached or with the aid of which the cross member 501 can be fixed since the walls are provided with corresponding devices, ie connections 524, directly on the rib elements 504. Alternatively, devices corresponding to the walls can be attached to the rib elements 504. In principle, it is also possible to provide additional walls. The reinforced edge regions bent upward in FIG. 10 can also be curved inward, which reduces the required installation space.
Fig. 11 zeigt ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel der vorliegenden Erfindung, gemäß dem im Querträger 601 zwei Wände 622 vorgesehen sind, welche miteinander in Längsrichtung des Querträgers 601 derart verbunden sind, dass sie die Funktion eines Gehäuses, im vorliegenden Fall die Funktion des Airbag-Gehäuses übernehmen. 11 shows a further exemplary embodiment of the present invention, according to which two walls 622 are provided in the cross member 601, which are connected to one another in the longitudinal direction of the cross member 601 in such a way that they take on the function of a housing, in the present case the function of the airbag housing ,
